Anakin walks into the hull with Evelyn and Ashoka flanking his sides, "Obi Wan finished meeting with the council, and he's on his way with the 212th and the 7th," Anakin announces to the ship, "With any luck, this war will be over within the month," he says confidently.
Evelyn bumps his shoulder, "Master Kenobi says there's no such thing as luck," she says with a teasing grin.
Ashoka chuckles, "Good thing Anakin taught us otherwise," she quips as the three laugh.
"Commander, Prime Minister Almec is on the comm," the pilot says as Anakin nods at his newly promoted Commander.
"Send him through!" Rex responds back as Almec appears on a hologram.
Anakin crosses his arms, disgusted with the man in front of him who aided in the murder of someone he knew his master cared about, "What is the meaning of this invasion?" Almec demands angrily, "The Republic presence here is a direct violation of our treaty."
Bo Katan speaks up, "Your time has come, Almec" she taunts, "We know you're Maul's puppet, and we are coming for him," she says, pointing at the fraud menacingly.
Almec smiles, "Ah! Mistress Bo-Katan, the traitor," he labels the sister of the late Duchess as he crosses his arms, "I should have known you were behind this incursion," he says sarcastically, "Siding with the Republic will make you an enemy in the eyes of the people."
Anakin and Evelyn look at each other, feeling a disturbance in the force, "She's nothing like her sister," Anakin mumbles to Evelyn as Bo-Katan rolls her eyes.
Evelyn places her hand on Anakin's elbow, "What's the plan?" She asks her equal.
Anakin strokes his chin, but before he can say anything, Bo-Katan speaks up, "I already have one," she says as she pulls up her plan, almost causing Anakin to cringe.
"This is a terrible plan", Anakin thinks to himself, furious at the arrogance of the person who got her own sister killed.
Everyone looks to him in shock as Bo Katan stands up, challenging Anakin, "I said that out loud, didn't I?" Anakin jokes, "Well I'm not wrong," Anakin defends, "Maul has his forces everywhere, and I'm not talking about Death Watch," Anakin says pointing to the underground tunnels, "I've been sitting in on some council meetings, and there's been a recent development of a criminal empire led by Maul rising through the ranks to rival the Hutts," Anakin says, shocking everyone in the room except Evelyn, "He's going to have his forces everywhere."
Bo-Katan growls, "So what's your plan?" She demands.
Anakin smirks as he pushes a button, bringing up a full map of Mandalore, "We need to liberate the citizens before we do anything," Anakin explains.
"Also, Death Watch is the bigger threat, so we save them for last - take down the Crimson Dawn before we do anything regarding Maul," Evelyn chimes in, being fully in the loop of Maul's growing empire.
